The Fragile Vessels by Dr Muhammed Al-Jibaly

This is one of a 3-book series covering various aspects of marriage
according to the authentic Sunnah. Marriage plays a most central role in
the human life, and has been largely discussed by the scholars of Islaam
through the ages, resulting in numerous writings and treatises. Some of
those writings, mostly by contemporary scholars, have been translated
into English. However, we find them restricted in scope, addressing
Muslims who live in predominantly Islaamic countries, or overlooking
important real issues that have developed under modern civilization.
This leaves quite a large gap that needs to be filled for the benefit of
the Muslims in English-speaking countries, and this is what we attempt
to fulfill over the span of three books."

Covers the obligations of the two spouses, the wife's rights, and the
husband's rights. Contains biographies of the Mothers of the Believers,
paints a very realistic picture from the life of the Prophet (pbuh) with
his wives, and presents a complete discussion of the hadeeth of Ummar
Zar'.
